21. Note, initially, the adsorbed clusters must not necessarily be either completely ordered or ordered in the same way as the final monolayer. We neglect, however, the influence of any vertical reorganization on the growth of the monolayer.

30. Note, for very low alkylsilane concentrations, that is, below 0.025 mM, an induction period has been observed in ref 15. Under these conditions, however, desorption might compete with adsorption throughout the monolayer growth. Simulations on the basis of our model including a desorption probability for mobile clusters indeed reproduce this characteristic feature at low alkylsilane concentrations.
